How the Prohibition Agitation Has lnjured
the whisky Trade.
CHICAGO, April The Board OF Mana
gers of the Western Export Association
met to-day at the Grand Pacific Hotel to
consider the present outlook of the whisky
trade in the United States.
HB. t"Buffdlo"l Miller, the President
of the Association, says that the present
agitation OF the prohibition question in
several of the States has injured the whisky
trade to a very considerable extent and
has caused d very decided overstoGking OF
the market, which only could he relieved
by the cxportatiOn of large percentage OF
the surplus, which is very expensive un-
dertakIHg.
1t is quite probable that the distillers
will he called upon to increase their as
sessments in order to relieve the present
Oyerstocking of the market. 1t is not eX-
peeted that any serious opposition will be
manifested to the payment Of the funds
necessary for this increased expectation, as
the warehousing expenses will be reduced,
and the entire business benefited by TAX
ing this oyerprOduction out OF the country
for few years.

A CABINET MEETING.
IMPORTANT INTERNATIONAL QUESTIONS
CONSIDERED BY IT.
The Canadian Fishery DiSputs-Dsmands Of Grsai
Britain of the Haytsn GOVenmsnt-Fhs
Alaska Seal RShsries-Al Amert-
can Vessel Fired Upon

WASHINGTON, b. c., April The Cab
met met at IL o'clock to-day in accords
anee with the plan for the summer months,
and remained in session over three hours.
The meeting was devoted almost entirely
TO the consideration of international ques-
tions, the most important points relating
TO the Canadian fisheries, the policy OF
Great Britain in regard to the Island OF
Hayti and the seal fisheries of Alaska.
In regard to
THE FISHERIES QUESTION,
is understood that information has been
received to the effect that England sus-
taiRs the position taken by the Canadian
authorities and is in no wise disposed to
make concessions requested by this govern
ment. This question was considered by
the Cabinet with view to the advisabillty
of suitable action by the President under
the provisions of the retaliatery act.
HAYTI.
The alleged demand of Great Britain for
possession of the Tortugas Islands as the
payment By the Hsytian Government OF
81 600, 900 in settlement of old claims was
considered at some length. The United
States have great interests in Hayti, and
are deeply concerned in its welfare and
prosperity. A correspondence will be
opened with Great Britain on this subject.
THEALASKA SEAL FISHERIES
were discussed with a view to their better
Protection from foreign interference. 1t Is
represented that the interests are now
threatened by the wanton and wholesale
slaughter of seals in the open Oceau.
1t seems that during the day the female
seals leave their young on the shores Of the
islands in charge of the males while
they go miles away i'll search
of food with which they return at night.
Recently practice has sprung up OF catch
ing the female seals while they are in
search Of food. The young perish as II
matter OF course, and the perpetuatlon OF
the animals is endangered.
The difficulty of controlling this matter
arises from the alleged want of jurisdiction
of the Government over the waters beyond
the three miles line The question will
be again considered at future meeting.
